DIY ! got it in the bag

Tuesday, February 28, 2012
The first thing i grabbed when i rolled out of bed last Sunday morning was my roll of brown paper. And no... i don't mean toilet paper.

For the past few weeks, i was a little irritated that i keep packing my gifts in recycled paper bags i found lying around the house. It's just that sometimes i get so wrapped up in making the gift that i forget about packaging it.

So, this time i finally thought to myself "Hello.... you've got all the things you need right here. Why don't you just make your own paper bag, you ding dong." So... i did.

I could tell you how to make your own paper bag but i thought i'd let mairuru show you. So, head over there for directions.... But wait! Before you head off, what i actually wanted to share with you was how you can easily decorate your paper bags to make it look a 'lil more 'home made'.




I know... not everyone has a roll just lying about. No problem... there are lots of other things you can use.


It was so simple too. Take it from a lazy bum like me. I made 3 within 20 mins.

You know what i love about it? I love the fact that it doesn't have to look perfect. Leave the frays and don't worry about it being crooked. Now, stick a card on or add a ribbon and you're all set.
